Didn't see anyone asking for this, per se, but I wanted to throw it out there.

I gave birth at Around the Circle in March, with Constance Frey. The other midwife who is attending there is Carollee Hall. I had a better rapport with Constance and was very pleased when she was on call when I went into labor.

The prenatal, labor and post partum care by ATC is amazing. Both of the midwives are very supportive and informative. At times it was a little difficult to reach the office (to schedule an appointment), but that goes to show how busy they are. I was in the process of moving from Portland to the Olympia area and they were always willing to make an exception for me to make my appointments work, since often I would have to take an entire day off of work just for an hour long appointment.

I was always able to get in contact with the midwife on call during my pregnancy if I ever had any questions, and I feel like I was always given a unbiased response on any 'questionable' topics (vaccinations, etc).

We have since moved and I did not end up going with ATC for my last birth, I only spoke with the midwives on the phone but they were not very kind, compassionate or understanding of my situation and so I went on a quest to find a better fit.

We had first intended on a birth center birth but ended up with a fantastic homebirth mw from chehalis and I wouldn't have traded it for the world!!
